Abstract

This paper presents a program for protecting vehicles against side winds on highways. The present study consists of three processes. The first one involves giving a guideline for evaluating driving safety in high winds. The second one involves making a guideline for determining the necessity of wind protection system for a certain road area. A reasonable procedure is suggested based on the probability model of wind data on weather stations and the correction of local topographical conditions. The third one involves design of wind barriers. Both CFD analyses and wind tunnel tests were performed to find the proper type of wind barrier considering vehicle controllability, structural safety, economical efficiency as well as driver's visibility. Performance of the designed wind fences was verified from field tests. The performance of the four different types of wind barrier installed at the elevated bridge were tested and some of the results were provided.

본 연구에서는 강풍을 받는 차량의 주행안정성을 증가시키기 위한 일련의 종합적인 대책을 제시하였다. 본 연구는 크게 세가지 부분으로 구성된다. 첫 번째로 차종별 속도제한 및 통행제한 기준을 마련하였다. 두 번째는 방풍대책의 필요여부를 판단할 설치 기준을 작성하는 것으로, 국부적인 지형의 보정을 통한 기상자료의 확률적인 모델을 이용하여 위험도를 판단하는 과정을 제시하였다. 세 번째는 풍속을 저감시킬 수 있는 효과적인 방풍벽을 제안하는 것으로 전산유체해석과 풍동실험을 통하여 풍속감소 효과, 경제성, 시각적 개방성을 고려한 방풍벽을 설계하였다. 아울러 현장실험을 통하여 4가지 방풍벽의 성능에 대한 검증을 하였다.
